Get to know your Shopify admin

After logging in to Shopify, you can set up your store, configure your settings, and manage your business using the Shopify admin.

Depending on the device you're using, you can do different things in your admin. If you log in to your Shopify admin from a browser, then you can manage all aspects of your store. If you log in to the Shopify app from your phone, then you can view your store's recent activity, update your store's catalog, and manage your orders.

If a section of the Shopify admin has an arrow beside it, then you can expand the navigation to display additional settings or pages related to that section.

You can also use the search bar to find products, pages, or other information within your Shopify admin.
